To the best of my knowledge Ford switched to the 2 inch hitch on all vehicles so it would
be the same on every vehicle. My 2008 edge came with the 1-1/4 inch hitch. My 2011 Edge
came with the 2 inch. The 3500 lb capacity is only on the 2.0 ecoboost engine. I would not
tow 3500 lbs with a 4 cyl engine especially in hilly areas. Even more of a concern would
be breaking. See towing specs below.
